Finally Done Zone 6" with 37s !

[Maligator]

So I finally got my truck back today. After a bit of a debacle with ordering a rough country kit the shop talked me into and didn't fit. I got them to order me a Zone 6 w/5" rear springs. They ended up setting my bills at 2.8" leaving me with approx 5/8" of rake. I opted for BFG KM2s in 37 x 12.5 on my 18" XD monsters. I chose the BFGs pretty much based solely on how light they were bc of my 3.21s turns out they're a pretty good tire too. I'm super happy with everything, part of me wishes maybe I did the 3" rear because there is some good gap there even with 37s. Regardless I love it. I do have some rub on the lower valence of my bumper JB1 warned me of this and he was dead right. It only seems to rub about halfway into a turn in reverse. Gonna do some light trimming this weekend. I do notice some power loss with the 37s and 3.21s but the little driving I did around town tonight she held at 15mpg. I also installed the Rough country quick cal to correct my speedo and shift points. Gotta say that helped a lot. I have to get more pics this weekend, supposed to rain tmmrw so I'll give her a bath Saturday and snap a bunch of shots of everything.

BADASS X2!!! I like that you went with the 18's, thats what I am going with when I finish my smaller lift. I like the more tire ratio to wheel look.

Welcome to the 8" lift club

It looks great, cant wait to see it cleaned up with more pics.

The trim is really just the front lower corner, I did a little excess on mine because I wanted a nice sweeping curve to make it look factory. I then added an edge trim all along the bottom edge. If you need any pics of anything just ask.

So I got out today and got a few more shots.Did some trimming of the lower air dam, made a huge difference.

Just a little tidbit of info for those looking to do 3.21 gears with 37s. Took a 200 mile round trip to a worksite on Friday. Power on the hwy is still there when you need to get up and go a little laggier than normal but I feel a pedal commander fixes that easy. I average 16.2mpg and this was cruising at 55-65mph depending on the speed limit. It did stay in 8th gear on long stretches of flat roads, once a small hill started it would downshift.

Truck looks awesome

One thing I noticed is they put the panhard bar in the wrong hole at the bracket. They have it in the hole meant for the 3" coils. Since you have the 5" coils it goes into the top hole which will make it more parallel to the rear axle. You can look at the online instructions to verify.

That's what's nice about the Zone or BDS, the adjustability allows you to go up or down, if you ever want go lower, simply adjust the bils to 0 or .7, add 3" coils and move that bar down to the lower notch.

Truck looks killer man! So nice.
Those Belgian Malinois are one of my favorite dog breeds. Should get a pic of the two beasts together!
